If you've always wanted to try to build an Arduino project, this may be a great way to start. Matt Williamson built a tiny, Arduino-based motion sensor that will SMS you when something moves by ...

TK has combined a PIR with an Arduino to create a smart safety light for the house or workshop. Follow along as this gets built out into a more extensive project.

Using motion detectors and an Arduino you can trigger lights, fans, or even an pneumatically controlled cleaver-wielding clown to help add your house to the “if you dare” list.

The Leap Motion controller is a rather impressive little sensor bar that is capable of generating a massive 3D point cloud and recognizing hands and fingers to allow for gesture control based ...

Zigbee is a protocol that has been around for quite a long time, and you can purchase many cheap smart sensors to incorporate into your own Zigbee network. Zigbee is its own network, meaning that it ...

Arduino enthusiasts looking for a new project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in a new slow motion frame which has been created by ...

The accelerometer uses sensors to detect the motion and speed of your hand, while the connected Arduino board will pick up on your motions and work out the commands.

Halloween is right around the corner and just about every Halloween project needs some kind of motion sensor. Historically, we’ve used IR and ultrasonic sensors but [Makers Mashup] decided to ...

I've just come across a no-name non-contact, high-precision 80 GHz mmWave radar sensor for liquid level detection with a 40m ...

Also, ALCAM gives you the ability to create time-lapse and stop-motion AVI videos and save them directly to the SD card. All done through a set of simple and well documented serial commands.
